    NFL Draft 2024 - Round 1 Discussion

    The Falcons just signed Kurt Cousins to a $180 mil 4 year contract.... and turn around a draft a 23 yo QB with their #1 pick.?. What? The great thing about a good rookie QB is they don't count much against the cap for 4 years. By the time Penix does start, he'll be at least 27 yo and they still won't know if he's any good. Why the hell did they draft him? Why not a lineman to protect Cousins, or another offensive weapon, or a great defensive player.?. Nope, a qb to hold a clip board for 4 years. Insane.

    Too many playoff teams

    MLB 12 playoff teams from 30 - 40% NFL 14 playoff teams from 32 - 43.8% NHL 16 playoff teams from 32 - 50% NBA 16 playoff teams from 30 - 53.3% ............................................................. MLB has it right. Tonight's NBA playoff game: Atlanta Hawks 36-46 vs Chicago Bulls 39-43 Good grief

    Too many playoff teams

    If the REGULAR SEASON is OVER and a team is STILL PLAYING trying to ADVANCE in the playoffs... it's a playoff game. What difference does it make what the NBA calls it? "The NBA officially names it a play-in game, so it's not really a playoff game." You're really taking that stance?

    Too many playoff teams

    I didn't know that. They played an entire regular season to eliminate 5 teams? Might as well demote those five to a lower league like soccer relegation.

    Too many playoff teams

    By that logic, the NFL Wildcard round isn't a playoff game - it's a play-in game!

    NPR Is Garbage

    I still flip to NPR everyone once in a while (sport radio goes commercial) and have to admit it seems I often catch mid-interview... "so, what was it like transitioning to a woman" or "how much racism did you feel while being an illegal immigrant", etc. Everything is gay, trany or racist. Ugh. Regardless of political leaning... surprised anyone listens to that crap.

Strawweight 115 lb max Super Welterweight 175 lb max Flyweight 125 lb max Middleweight 185 lb max Bantamweight 135 lb max Super Middleweight 195 lb max Featherweight 145 lb max Light Heavyweight 205 lb max Lightweight 155 lb max Cruiserweight 225 lb max Super Lightweight 165 lb max Heavyweight 265 lb max Welterweight 170 lb max Super Heavyweight 265+ ....................................................................................................................... 5'9" ... current Lightweight. I'm a skinny dude, so if I was max buffed... prime Bantamweight. Surprises me that Sean O'Malley (the clown) is 5'11" and fights at Bantamweight. In comparison the current Flyweight and Strawweight champs are only 5'5". So, we got any Super Heavyweights?

    Death pool update. OJ.

    Yeah, that was shameful. The judge should be disbarred. Sentenced him for the current crime, and the previous charge of which he was acquitted. Ridiculous. Nobody cried foul because it's OJ, but that was disgusting. Justice is supposed to be blind.

    OJ's final Tweet... Picked the Niners... what a loser.

    MMA Weight Classes - your current vs prime

    Supposedly the reason fighters don't weigh-in right as they enter the ring is because it could endanger the one's who cut too much weight and are totally dehydrated. But that's the only fair way to do it. If fighters want to cut weight and risk it, that's their business. Perhaps they shouldn't be fighting at that weight class.

    Now let's see if the glove fits.

    Was President Lincoln Gay ?

    Gay or not, he was a war criminal. God bless Booth.
  14. Doesn't bother me when people have different opinions. I don't live in us-vs-them world, I don't call people "gay lefties" or "magatards", and I don't take politics personally or make it my identity (nice avatar). Been here since 2000 and used to post a lot, but in recent years... hardly ever. Click on a news story to read opinions, and it's always the same crap - Biden's fault, Trump's fault, etc. Nobody discusses anything intelligently. I wish Mike would create a separate "politics" forum. Then people of your ilk can name call, complain, and start multiple tranny threads, without ruining the once great Geek club.
  15. I don't shop for groceries and I sure as hell don't cook. That's why I got married. I grill like a man is supposed to do.

    Is COVID still killing people?

    Dude in my neighborhood wears a mask while walking his dog. 60+- yo thin white guy. Very odd. Wife and I deduced he must have a compromised immune system, even though he looks healthy. If he were Asian I'd chalk it up germophobe, like all of 'em.
  17. I was thrilled to pick up Edwards off WW during the Ravens Rb shuffle last year. After I got him I immediately searched "Gus Edwards highlights" on Youtube. Color me disappointed. And those were the highlights. No juke, no speed... just plod forward until touched. I guess that's good enough to be a goal-line back, but that's about it.

    2024 NFL Draft Profile - QB Caleb Williams

    Williams was on national tv twice last year when I watched him. Didn't see why he was so hyped. Neither did any of my friends. But that was just 2 games. Meanwhile I thought Bo Nix looked great in the few games I saw him. Guess that's why I'm not a scout.

    Key Bridge in Baltimore struck by ship-collapses

    Families of the deceased would've preferred that.

    Key Bridge in Baltimore struck by ship-collapses

    That barge drifted for a long time.... why doesn't it have anchors? Even if they lost electrical, surely they could manually lower some.?.
  21. Bud Light: 110 calories Budweiser: 145 calories 35 calorie savings? That's like three Doritos. What's the bloody point? Never understood the "light" beer garbage.
  22. Wouldn't be shocked if I'm wrong. Four key stats I look at in college basketball for gambling... versus their OWN conference: Shooting %, 3 pt %, Ast/to ratio, and defensive shooting % James Madison: 47.1%, 36.3%, 1.5, and 41.3% Wisconsin: 46.5%, 36.0%, 1.4, and 46.4%. Madison wins every category. Doesn't inspire me, but still a low spread for a team that beat Purdue and gave Illinois all they could handle.
  23. Gambling wise... my upsets are UAB, Clemson and Nebraska (slight dog when I bet it). Monster bet of the day... Big Wisky
  24. What's great about March Madness is the refs don't usually go overboard calling fouls unless it's egregious. Games are fast paced and back-forth... fun to watch. Sucks they blew that one.

    Rangers Bruins tonight...

    Ok just Youtubed it... I remember Lange and he's good, but wasn't the one I was thinking of - apparently it was Mike Emrick. Don't know why I associated him with Penguins, but in any case Emrick is the greatest.
